The 8th IAAF World Championships in Athletics will bring the world closer together, and we will celebrate the great nations that visit us not only through athletics, but also by learning more about their cultures and countries. This resource is a good example of a way that an integrated education can be fostered. Thousands of athletes from more than 200 countries will compete. Hundreds of thousands of people will attend, including athletes, coaches and officials. The world will be watching as the event is broadcast globally. The resource, written by a team of teachers, will focus on many aspects of the World Championships in Athletics; from running, jumping and throwing, to global friendship and citizenship, and to well being and active living. The resource has been developed to support implementation of the programs of study. All of these lessons align directly with the curriculum and can be used instead of, or in conjunction with, activities already being taught in Alberta schools. From the outset, the focus of the 8th IAAF World Championships in Athletics, has been to create lasting legacies. Beyond the bricks and mortar of facilities, we will be developing young leaders with an enhanced understanding of the world we live in. 5 Our Schools in Actionan integrated teacher resource /iii ©Alberta Learning, Alberta, Canada (2000) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS "Our Schools in Action," An Integrated Teacher Resource, is a collaborative project of the Edmonton 2001 World Championships in Athletics organizing committee, the College of Alberta School Superintendents, Epcor and Imperial Oil Esso and Alberta Learning.
